Like, we’re in an interesting era of times where so many alternatives are cropping up because of the drastic and draconic practices that have been taken on the social media platforms we’ve commonly embraced. But eventually, starting new can get tiring after a while.

    I really use very few platforms. Was mainly Reddit, now mainly Kbin. No Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, too old for Snapchat.

    I stopped visiting Facebook several years ago. I think it was for two reasons:

    1. I decided it was unhealthy for my in real life relationships to see how people behaved on Facebook.
    2. When I noticed that Facebook was showing me way more “suggested” crap than stuff from my friends.

    I never used Twitter. It just wasn’t for me.

    Maybe too old and too much of a curmudgeon for Instagram and Snapchat.

    Leaving Reddit was going to be hard. I tried Mastodon but, like Twitter, that wasn’t what I was looking for.

    When I found kbin, I made the switch and that’s it. I have one sub I still check out on Reddit, but here if used to be daily, now it’s a few times a week. It’s continue to diminish I’m sure as the community on the deliverer grows.
